Croston House Children Home

http://www.crostonhousechildrenshomethailand.org/

Whilst at Regent’s I took part in different activities and one of that activities was Croston House walk which is part of the Croston House Children Home. Croston House Children Home provides an opportunity of a brighter future. The mission statement of the organisation is :

'' Our aims and objectives are defined by the Thai government’s view as to what a children’s home should be providing for the children in its care rather than any particular Foundation’s though they are, by and large, the same as our own views as to how the home should be run. The welfare system in Thailand is much weaker than it is in most Western countries in terms of both its structure and the resources that the civil servants who are entrusted with maintaining it have available to them. Although obtaining Foundation or charitable status in Thailand can be an extremely time consuming and tedious affair, once it has been achieved, there is considerably less interference in the day to day management of the Foundation than in many other countries, and for that I for one am extremely grateful. ''

I took part in this activity becuase I was interested in their mission statment. The organisation helps children which I think is very important becuase by helping children and by giving them our support the community will become a better place, becuase children are part of our community and are the most important things in our community.

I use my skills to make the society better place. I gave money to the foundation, because I think that it is my responsibility to help children who are in a bad situation. I use my caring and my communication skills to help children and make sure that they feel comfortable in the community.

One of the projects that the foundation organized was Croston House walk On Friday 5th September 2008 by taking part i raised money to support Croston House Children's Home in Lamphun. I walked 13km for that foundation and for raising money for children. And now I can say proudly that I did a very good thing for my community and for our planet
